Today's transfer headlines: Gary Medel's move to Inter Milan is imminent and Wilfried Bony is still a Swan

The first day of August has been a busy one for the transfer market. The Gary Medel transfer finally seems close to completion while the big clubs still circulate Swansea's Wilfried Bony. Take a look back.

But Medel's agent Fernando Felicevich made it clear to chairman Mehmet Dalman that the Chile World Cup star only wants to play for the San Siro club.

Wilfried Bony latest

Liverpool and Brendan Rodgers are still to make a bid for the Ivorian.

But there is much speculation that an approach is imminent.

Today, Eurosport blogs are taking a look at how Bony could be Rodgers' solution after the shock breakdown of his bid to buy Loic Remy a week ago.

They say: "I know Swansea are making noises about cashing in on Wilfried Bony, and I think he would be a very good option with his physical and technical attributes – scoring 25 goals in a struggling team is not to be sniffed at, not in your first season at this level.

"He would probably cost around £20m, but it would be well spent, particularly given Fabio Borini will exit for around £14m if all goes to plan."

Still we wait...

Former Swansea City midfielder Alejandro Pozuelo was unveiled before his new fans at Rayo Vallecano yesterday.

Argentina legend Diego Simeone, the man who led Atletico Madrid to last season's La Liga title and within moments of the Champions League crown, has rated Cardiff City's Gary Medel among the best in the World.

When asked to select a World Cup XI, the Atletico boss named the Bluebirds enforcer as the only non German or Argentinian player in his 11, saying: "He played very well at the World Cup.

"He is very intense and committed. I think that puts him in a different place to the rest."

Look out for more on this later...

Paper Talk...

In today's Paper Talk, we have more on what is being said about the Swans' move for Kyle Naughton, the situation with Cardiff City and Kevin Theophile-Catherine and interest in Scott Sinclair.

Agent Dalibor Lacina, who is representing Bony, has told Wolfsburger Nachrichten newspaper the striker would be keen on playing in the Bundesliga, as he is eager to play in a European club competition.

He said: "Wilfried is out to play in a European club competition as much as he is out to play in a big European league.

"The Bundesliga is a league tempting to Wilfried. He would fit the bill at Wolfsburg."

We reported in the last hour that Wilfried Bony's agent claimed "He would fit the bill at Wolfsburg."

That comes after reports in the Italian media linked the Ivorian to the Bundesliga giants, who are currently in South Wales to face Cardiff City tomorrow.

In it they say: "New Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has been keen to reshape his backline, completing deals for Swansea's Ben Davies and England Under-21 defender Eric Dier, while Danny Rose extended his stay at the club by signing a new five-year contract."

As the week goes on, it seems more likely that this move would suit both parties, as Naughton is surplus to requirements at White Hart Lane.
